Cloud Atlas

Re: The Wachowski Brothers' Cloud Atlas

Kinda reminds me of "What Dreams May Come". I have a sneaking suspicion that there will zero chemistry between Hanks and Berry. I also fear that there's just too much crammed in to make a coherent story. Good to see that Hanks still wants to make movies though. Can't help but root for the guy.

Holy sh** this looks terrible.

I'm so excited for this, but it's sitting on a 40-average on metacritic. Got me worried.

I think you may be the first person I've heard say that it looks that bad.

RottenTomatoes has a lot more reviews counted and it's sitting at 78%.

It looks good, but may be too surreal for my tastes.

Re: The Wachowski Brothers' Cloud Atlas

Looks incredible but also looks like it needs to be 5 hours long to cover the whole story.

Re: The Wachowski Brothers' Cloud Atlas

I agree, Reinhardt. I'm hoping for an extended release one day.

Cloud Atlas will be in theaters this Friday...I can't wait!

Really excited for this movie..the future sequnces look amazing!!! But i have a feeling the real gold will be in the emotion, seems like a movie with a really powerful ending!

Should have been an 11 part HBO mini series.

I hope to see this on Saturday.

Side note: Should I change the thread title to "Wachowski Siblings" or something like that?

Yes, I was going to suggest that but forgot. They are now referred to as the "Wachowski Siblings".

Or simply the Wachowskis...

Curious to see what's the deal about this movie...

Didnt know this was almost 3 hours!

Yeah, probably the best option.

I would like to see this at the IMAX on Saturday. I'll give it my cash because I want movies like this to be seen as worth investing in by the studios, so we aren't stuck with nothing but Scary Movie 5 getting the greenlight.

Re: The Wachowskis' Cloud Atlas

The reviews on RT kind of lowered my expectations a bit. I guess it's not blowing everybody away like I had hoped. Still very confident I will enjoy this film though!

Re: The Wachowskis' Cloud Atlas

Enjoyed the book a lot so am looking forward to this, though it ain't out here in the UK till next March... Need some Freaks reviews to tide me over!

Re: The Wachowskis' Cloud Atlas

I know the critics are kind of 50/50 on it, and the film wasn't as perfectly tied up as I had hoped, but it still left quite an impact and it had several touching moments. Overall, it still felt very powerful.

It didn't disappoint me, even with monstrous expectations, so I guess that's saying something.
